it looks so good >__<

Paprika is confusing – I think red pepper is a better term. Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried sweet red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum). In many European countries the name paprika also refers to bell peppers themselves. It’s mostly used for the powder in English, so to use ot for the fruit itself is confusing.

I realize this comment is kind of old, but I had to reply. “Japanese people” and “making their own choices” in the same thought … just … set off bells, and I had to say something.

Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension and learn to not put words in other people’s mouths before you go around writing huge diatribes and calling people you don’t even know ignorant.

Get bent, seriously.

Pizza Hut isn’t even the biggest pizza delivery place in Japan. That honor goes to a home-grown place called Pizza-La. If Pizza Hut left, Pizza-La and Dominos would just pick up the slack.

The Japanese are perfectly capable of getting fatter without America. In fact, pizza isn’t even an American food. Japan actually has been influenced by countries other than the U.S. (hint: there’s a reason that the Japanese called bread “pan” and it has nothing to do with the U.S. contaminating the carbs in their food culture with evil bread products).

Most of the biggest fast food monstrosities in Japan have never even been on the radar in the U.S. (such as the disgusting hamburger mess that this entry was about or McDonald’s horrific “croquette burger” many years back which was some concoction of pasta in a deep-fried patty with a breaded exterior.

Honestly, blaming America for absolutely everything bad in every country including the eating habits the citizens choose of their own free will to make is getting out of hand. The reason American fast food places flourish is that people keep forking over their money for the food and the Japanese co-owners (and board of directors) of the franchises alter the fast food menu to appeal to local tastes.

Here’s a thought…Japanese people are capable of thinking for themselves and making their own choices about little things like what places they patronize and the food they order. I know, it’s a radical, but they really can think without American assistance!

The image actually says 赤パプリカ, red paprika according to my dictionary as well. The problem is that “paprika” means something different in the rest of the world. So it’s an honest mistake. But what’s on that pizza is pretty obviously not paprika (which is the reddish powder commonly found on top of deviled eggs). It’s red pepper.

other than that, i mean it looks tasty enough, but seriously how fattening is that?? its like gathering all the bad stuff and then adding a little bad sauce on top, and some cheese.
